Exclusive | Super-Sturdy Tomato Cage Supports Heavy Yields

Longtime customer favorites, our heavy-duty, powder-coated steel tomato cages are taller, wider and stronger than old-fashioned cone-shaped supports. And unlike flimsier versions, these are strong enough to support full-grown vines loaded with tomatoes. The cages support plants on all sides (no tying needed) and keep plants up off the ground for better air circulation, cleaner fruit and fewer diseases. Large openings make harvesting easy, and the cages fold flat for off-season storage. In windy locations, we recommend anchoring with our Extra-Tall Earth Staples.

I love to grow large blooming plants such as dahlias, Asiatic lilies, cornflowers etc. These tomato cages can also be used to support them, not just for tomatoes. Place around the plant when it is small and the plant will grow up inside the cage. Cages have long "feet" which you push into the soil and they stand up well in heavy rainy thunderstorms.

Of course as the product name reflects, I use the cages for tomato plants. However, I have also in years past purchased other items from these folks for use with pepper and egg plants. Too, the shorter version of the tomato plants work exceptionally well in supporting squash plants. I've repeatedly put these cages over the past few years!
